Producers of cake mix in the 1950s found that having the purchaser ["housewife"] add an egg themselves during the cooking process increased sale no end. Clearly some convenience foods can be too convenient.

peeled carrotts aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah so easy and convenient, but at a £1 for a small bag, I will peel my own. Certainly wont pay over the odds for someone else to peel them Anyone ever bought them, come on tell us

Guilty i'm afraid. I don't always, but find it convenient when mixed in a pre-packed bag with other veg. I'd say I only ever prepare a meal from scratch (as it were) about once a week. I am only cooking for myself, but find time is at a premum seeing as I work. It's about 7 at night when I sit down to eat and it would be considerably later if I were cooking from scratch.

Yes.Women these days have it too easy with these new things that are pre-peeled, chopped or diced or something.No wonder they can sit around all day watching Jeremy Kyles and This Morning and Loose Women whilst drinking tea and scoffing chocolate.

Any ladies wishing to bash me will have to look under the table, as that's where I'm hiding for the rest of the day.

While you're under the table how's about peeling a sack of carrots for me? Keep you occupied yeah.

During the winter, I buy pre bagged lettuces (usually rucola, field salad or curly kale) because I'm the only one who eats it. To buy a whole one means wastage as it goes off before I can demolish it. Sometimes, on the way to work in the morning. I occasionally buy bags of pre-peeled veggies (sugar snaps, carrots, French beans) to have for lunch. I have bought pre-peeled spuds when leaving work at 6pm, because I can't be bothered to peel spuds for dinner and that option is a lot healthier for my son's meal than say, heating up a frozen pizza. I suppose it's all a question of lifestyle. Mostly after work I will cook properly but when I'm off on Thurs and Friday's we always have a meal from scratch.
